Tonight's Stinker: It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time (1975)

Tonight's Stinker It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time (1975) https://youtu.be/Wz5qh1aDFM0?si=d6Bk6yEKzMc-hahT Sweeney is a failed artist turned full time moocher... His Ex still comes around for sex & alimony, even though she's re-married to a rich construction company owner, even though he wants to demolish her mother's house... Sweeney finds out she's also working a politician in hopes he'll declare her mother's home a public landmark... Sweeney decides to crash the politician's commencement party just to spite his ex & her husband... Afterwards, the politician & the ex go to a secluded cabin, where Sweeney traps them & hatches a phony kidnapping scheme... It's one I've been meaning to get out of my system for a while, and it doesn't disappoint, being very fast paced, with more happening in five minutes than I have time to explain...

The Moment He can't listen to the Truth, He plugs His Ears On Live TV!

BOOOOOOOOOOM.

They discover a flying saucer underwater, & figure out it's going back to the North Pole to recharge (Setting aside, the magnetic north is in a different place)... There's a sub plot involving a new kind of diving bell, & the second in command hates it's young operator... Riffable....

Tonight's Stinker Sound Of Horror (1966) https://youtu.be/qrKzG5tCVY8?si=ko5S9KK38wW3NoOQ Or at https://youtu.be/jYpZ7Ic3Fi0?si=mjYtoZ8NO05zlNFT A scientist uses explosives to look for buried treasure... Instead, he finds dinosaur eggs and a mummy... Then an old friend shows up with the other half of a map he's been using... Meanwhile, one of the eggs hatches... The next day, they think they've found the treasure, & go fetch more explosives... A scientist who stays behind to study the mummy is killed by the dinosaur, which is now invisible (really)... The rest of the movie, the cast stays holed up in a villa next to the cave.... http://www.badmovies.org/movies/soundhorror/

Tonight's Stinker: Invasion U.S.A (1952)

Tonight's Stinker Invasion U.S.A (1952) https://youtu.be/yPYY_J8oDLs?si=648Ama11IIHDxaM3 A haughty group of movers & shakers are watching TV at a bar in New York, when a reporter shows up asking if they're for or against the government commandeering industry & labor to help build up the military.... Most of them are against it, as it sounds like communism... Another man in the cattle business laments the regulations on the price of feed, beef & high taxes.... The we come to a man with a foreign accent who gives a little speech about how people always want somebody else to do stuff... Later that night, Russia invades Alaska, & the bar patrons hurry back to their hometowns to help with the war effort.... What follows is a lot of stock WW2 newsreels, with a recurring theme that the military doesn't have enough weapons.... Pretty exciting, even though it becomes pretty obvious halfway through, that it will have a surprise ending & what that surprise will be.....

Tonight's Stinker: The Throne of Fire (1983)

Tonight's Stinker The Throne of Fire (1983) https://youtu.be/312YnpBcUZs?si=ltgLm6ClXmNbSz_p One of those Italian sword & sorcery flicks... A witch spawns the son of the Devil's messenger... The same night, a wizard predicts that his infant son will fight him some day... Twenty years later, the witch commands her son to kill a king & marry his daughter, but warns him of a curse on his throne.... He dispatches a group of warriors with no pants to raid some villages... Meanwhile, the wizard's son is now a bodybuilder who sets out to save the princess... Lots of that corny midi-synth music you'd expect from an Italian film, accompanied by the most annoying use of a kettle drum I've ever experienced, albeit, halfway through the open credits, the music changed in a way that gave me a good chuckle....

Tonight's Stinker: GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN (1958)

Tonight's Stinker GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN (1958) https://youtu.be/6rCs2VKOb08?si=vxiT32RE99QWqJaq The film opens with townspeople chattering about a murder that follows recent cattle mutilations... After the local sheriff breaks up the crowd, paleontologist comes into town after three days in the hills.... The paleontologist had a disagreement with the victim a week earlier, so the bullheaded sheriff thinks he's the prime suspect.... Then an archeologist & his daughter pull into town... The paleontologist invites them to dinner, where the archeologist reveals he's looking for the grave a soldier who deserted from a Spanish conquistador.... Pretty talky at the beginning, then get suspenseful, the sorta drags out the last fifteen minutes....
